Figure 1: Heed the call, halfling This moment—early 2026—is a particularly well-suited time in history to start self-hosting applications and rely on your own infrastructure. Whether in a local homelab or your own cloud deployment, the tools to build out personal environments have been getting better over time. The future looks a little shaky, though, so now is your moment! Increasing hardware costs have started to bloat the price of ....

I want to start capturing my notes from important articles I’m reading about the impact of AI. AI Doesn’t Reduce Work—It Intensifies It by Aruna Ranganathan and Xingqi Maggie Ye While this may sound like a dream come true for leaders, the changes brought about by enthusiastic AI adoption can be unsustainable, causing problems down […]

The Clinejection vulnerability chain illustrates a dangerous new era of supply chain attacks where AI agents are turned into exploit vectors. By combining indirect prompt injection with GitHub Actions cache poisoning, attackers successfully pushed unauthorized code to thousands of developers. This incident highlights the critical need for hardened CI/CD pipelines and rigorous security for AI-assisted coding tools.

I used and photographed every legal crosswalk between NE 16th Ave and 30th Ave inclusive, including the unmarked crosswalks. All photos taken on 2026 February 18 between 3 and 4 PM. The light sucks because it was raining and/or hailing. Click or tap on each image for full size. NE 16th Ave RRFB crosswalk and crossbike with protected median.

How frustration with Trigger-Action Lists in production 3D tools led me to build behave-graph, champion it at SIGGRAPH, and help drive the KHR_interactivity glTF standard.

This post is an elaboration on a comment I made on Hacker News recently, on a blog post that showed an increase in volume and decline in quality among the “Show HN” submissons. I don't actually mind AI-aided development, a tool is a tool and should be used if you find it useful, but I think the vibe coded Show HN projects are overall pretty boring. They generally don't have a lot of work put into them, and as a result, the author (pilo..

Many years ago, when I was younger and thought a PhD sounded like a sensible life choice, I started one. Early on, a lecturer gave me a piece of advice that stuck: “Don’t watch the program run.” He meant the long jobs. Training a neural net. Running simulations. Anything where the terminal starts spitting out numbers and you just… sit there. Watching loss values tick down as if your attention somehow helps. It feels like work. ....

Introduction When using a not end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, you may want to store your file encrypted so if the cloud provider (that could be you if you self host a nextcloud or seafile) get hacked, your data will be available to the hacker, this is not great. While there are some encryption software like age or gpg, they are not usable for working transparently with files. A specific class of encryption software exists, they create ....

I'm wondering if I should use the rchan engine to build a imageboard project. I am brazillian, and I want to make a full brazillian Imageboard, and the only engine made by a brazillian I found was this one: https://github.com/lainsec/rchan This is a lain themed engine made with python and Flask It uses Sqlite as default stack, but I will change to mongoDB. But I'm not sure if its secure. What do you guys think?

How much wear does daily use of a live distro cause on an optical drive? As a project I'm thinking about making a modified TinyCore CD-R (DVD-R if I have to) and see how long I can go using that as my main driver.

I started using Claude Code in July last year. I was a Cursor user looking for something better, and I was skeptical at first. Claude Code is a terminal-based tool, and I was used to IDEs. With Cursor, reviewing AI-generated changes was straightforward, you see the diff, you accept or reject. How would that work in a terminal? It took me a while to adapt. The breakthrough was realizing I could run Claude Code inside VS Code’s integrate..

The attempt to live on Earth as though you were already in Heaven inevitably leads to disaster. and communities that try to do this always collapse. No exceptions. They may have good intentions but they are naive and lack wisdom.The world of man is innately corrupt. It is a fallen world marked by sin. ignorance. greed. desire. fear. conflict and death. and any attempt to regulate this world must take those into account. You cannot pretend t....

Grace Hopper built the first compiler in 1952. They said “you can’t make them understand English-like instructions.” She had a running compiler and nobody would touch it. Sound familiar? Grace had some thoughts about this kind of thinking. She had a lot of thoughts, actually.
